Pan
India, 8th November 2021: Healpha, School
Health Program conducted
a detailed health study by establishing contact with 64,615 parents for a
health screening of 3- to 18-year-olds from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil
Nadu, Karnataka and Maharashtra over a period of 18 months pre-Covid in India.
The Healpha health report card has identified
that 5% of tested girls and 4% of tested boys are at an active risk of one eyed
blindness due to previously unidentified Lazyeye ailment. Additionally, 10%
more of screened children already suffer from Anismetropia which can eventually
lead to Lazyeye ailment and potential blindness in one eye.
The number of
children suffering from ENT related issues is certainly a serious concern given
that the ear hygiene and ear wax related issues can result in hearing loss and
infection Perforation issues in the Ear over a period of time. This in addition
to the alarming number of children suffering from Lazyeye and Tonsils needs
immediate lifestyle changes and simple health practices to be implemented by
parents at home. Additionally, it is very important to screen children for
their holistic health at least twice a year.
“Our tests have shown us that 0.0018%
of our children today are in a perfect health condition. If we extrapolate this
data, we as a country are looking at only 4885 perfectly healthy citizens from
a population of 26.5 crores! Alarming indeed. For the government and the
parents, it is time to sit up, think and act. As a parent and as a citizen of
this amazing country, I know that I am worried. A conscious medical and
paramedical industry should focus on bringing our kids the best health possible
is the need of the hour,” he further added.
While dental issues are not
considered the top of the pyramid in priority order, issues like tartar, plaque
and cavities can eventually impact gums, enamel, teeth bones and cause
persistent bad breath. A simple technique to reduce incidences of dental issues
apart from the commonly known better eating and brushing habits is to ensure
that less food with food colouring is consumed.
Parents, teachers and principals
should keep a sharp eye for unexplained lack of focus or attention during
class, deteriorating performance for no evident reasons and unhygienic eating
habits from unidentified sources to keep viruses and bacteria at bay. Additionally,
parents should focus on reducing screen time and active physical exercise with
children to ensure that lifestyle related issues don’t occur.
